Eat a Rainbow

We celebrated "eat a rainbow" day on Wednesday.  We were pleased to use funds from our Metro Green Apple Food Grant to fund this activity.  Throughout the year, we have been encouraging the students to eat healthy, nutritious foods.  We are helping them to recognize the importance of adopting a healthy lifestyle through eating and exercise.  

The fruit and vegetable rainbows were a huge success!  We were even excited to see that some students tried new fruits/vegetables for the very first time!

The talk of "rainbow of healthy foods" prompted us to create our very own rainbows!  We used a variety of different art mediums, such as paints, oil pastels, paint stamps and rip/tear art. 

Such beautiful work!

We worked with our grade 5/6 buddies to create nutrition posters to promote healthy eating.  The students had to come up with a plan for an interesting poster to encourage nutritious food choices!
